Yuri!!! on Ice (ユーリ!!! on ICE)

Yuri Katsuki and Victor Nikiforov get up close and personal on Phichit’s instagram in new poster art from December’s Animedia Magazine (Amazon US | Japan), illustrated by key animator Yuka Kudo (工藤裕加).

Yuuri only has two settings for his brain-to-mouth filter:

1. Top secret. Tell no one. Except maybe a dog. Yes, tell a dog. Implode if revealed to another human

OR

2. Announce intentions at global press conference

Thank you for the amazing update! I'm curious; while you gave us a good idea of what drunk Yuuri was yelling about at the party with the 'you' and the observation that it sounded like a series of insults, did you have in mind exactly what Yuuri was saying? Or just the general gist since nobody in the fic knows (and will never find out anyway)?

Lol will Yuuri’s yelling in Japanese forever remain a mystery?? ;)

Are we ever going to know what yuuri said when he was drunk?

———-

I wont write it out exactly but the general gist of it was:

Yuuri’s face contorted in an instant, eyes narrowing and mouth twisting into an almost snarl as he called something sharp and harsh in an unfamiliar language across the room, eyes still looking directly at Viktor. Despite not understanding a single one of the few words that Yuuri had just said, from the tone and his accusatory pointing finger Viktor was pretty sure that the words would translate into something very similar to a version of ‘you’ that was very far from polite.

This is pretty much exactly what it looks like, Yuuri is pointing at Viktor and saying something along the lines of ‘you! Hey, you’ in a rude way.

“Ignoring his hesitant words of greeting Yuuri snapped out another tumbled string of syllables in the same foreign language as his first.”

Here Yuuri is telling a brief summary of why he hates Viktor, something along the lines of ‘yeah, you! you called me fat and didn’t think I could be a skater. How do you like me now asshole?’ 

At Viktor’s lack of response Yuuri yelled something else that sounded suspiciously like a series of insults

Again, this is exactly what it looks like. Viktor isn’t responding so drunk!Yuuri is just generally insulting him like ‘you’re so arrogant and I hate you’ etc

Viktor turned back to Yuuri who was still slumped in his arms, glaring up at Viktor, mumbling something in Japanese and poking Viktor sharply in the chest

Here Yuuri’s kind of mellowed out slightly because he’s yelled most of the actual insults his drunk mind can think of so now he’s saying more along the lines of ‘I hate you and your stupid skating and your pretty face’

After some manoeuvring he managed to get Yuuri back on his feet again but the other man ended up clinging to his shoulder, half draped over Viktor as he continued to drunkenly rant at the man he had plastered himself too, feet too unsteady to stand on his own.

“Here Yuuri is ranting about his feelings basically. Something along the lines of ‘I hate how you always beat me and now I beat you and you didn’t even stick around to see it and it’s not fair, why did you just leave?’

Yuuri mumbled something else that was definitely not in English and finally stopped ranting, resting his head on Viktor’s shoulder with a yawn and sounding considerably less angry than he had a few seconds before.

But at least you’re here now

Every now and again he tossed another couple of words at Viktor but they sounded as though they had much less bite to them as before.

‘I still hate you, you know.’ etc but much less mean and more of an afterthought

Instead he simply wound his arms around Viktor’s neck and buried his face into his shoulder, muttering something else that Viktor couldn’t quite make out.

This is where he started to get into sappy territory, when Viktor picked him up. Something like ‘you feel really nice’

And then obviously he finally starts talking in English

when you're crying about the cancellation but remember how good YOI was to you

Pair skate

I'm sorry if this was already asked but what is your recommended chapter order if I wanted to re-read this amazing Rivals series at the same time, to have their POV stories overlap?

Chapter 1 of obs&bh covers the first 7 chapters of umfb&mha. The first part right at the beginning is set in the future after the end of both fics and then after that it goes like this:

Obs&bh section 1 (Viktor was 15 and…) = umfb&mha chapter 1

Section 2 (Viktor was 17 and…) = chapter 3 (chapter 2 of umfb&mha doesn’t have Viktor physically present in it so it doesn’t appear in obs&bh)

Section 3 (Viktor was 19 and…) = chapter 4

Section 4 (Viktor was 20 and…) = chapter 5

Section 5 (Viktor was 21 and…) = the timeskip between umfb&mha chapters 5 and 6

Section 6 (Viktor was 22 and he was jealous) = chapter 6

Section 7 (Viktor was 22 and he was in pain) = chapter 7

After that, the chapters match up like this:

Obs&bh chapter 2 = umfb&mha chapter 8

Chapter 3 = Chapter 9

Chapter 4 = Chapter 10

Chapter 5 & 6 = Chapter 11

Chapter 7 = Chapter 12

Chapter 8 = Chapter 13

Chapter 9 = Chapter 14
